TBO, I don't see the big difference... What exactly do you mean by that? You're
right that the Pd *core* doesn't care about z-order, but drawing commands are
sent while traversing the glist, which implies a certain order. The GUI is
theoretically not required to draw things in the same order,

I don't agree that there is no defined z-ordering in Pd, otherwise you couldn't
reliably build GUIs. Just imagine that a background canvas

There would be two ways of forcing the author to deal with it:

Personally, I don't see the need for this be tackled in Pd, since one
has enough control in the patch to re-order scalars as desired. Rather,

Hello list,
I just uploaded a new version of the jmmmp library, with improvements to
the [multiarray] object (also at http://bit.ly/jmmmp_056, and soon on
deken).
In the help file of [multiarray] I described a problem with the drawing of
scalars inside a GOP. Basically, z-order is lost (or
